Pickleball Etiquette Guidelines
Embrace Good Sportsmanship: Respect all players. Remember, it's just a game, and sportsmanship is paramount.
Start with a Warm Welcome: Acknowledge your fellow players, introduce yourself to new faces, and greet familiar ones.
Call the Ball Fairly: If a ball is "out" on your side, call it. When it's close, favor your opponent when in doubt.
Kitchen and Faults: Be cautious about calling kitchen and serving faults. Consider vision limitations, especially in older players.
Respect Spectators: Encourage polite spectator comments but discourage disruptive or combative remarks.
These guidelines ensure a positive and inclusive pickleball experience, fostering growth, camaraderie, and respect within our community.
